Watch Tom Hardy Get in a Fight in New 'Venom' Set Footage

When fans think about fights in superhero movies, they tend to picture two hulking figures, clad in bright costumes, pounding the crap out of one another. However, new set footage from Venom reminds us that words can hurt, too, as star Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock was filmed getting into a spat with co-star Michelle Williams’s character.

The footage, which appeared on Twitter courtesy of the Turkish news outlet Kültürpat, shows Hardy approaching Williams outside of what looks to be a bank. Williams is so angry (or perhaps surprised) by his sudden appearance that she drops the cardboard box she’s carrying as the two engage in conversation. Though it hasn’t officially been confirmed, all signs indicate that Williams is playing Eddie Brock’s ex-wife Anne Weying, so it would make sense that the two aren’t necessarily on great terms.

In the 1995 comics Venom: Sinner Takes All, the Symbiote infected Weying, turning her into She-Venom. It’s unclear if the same thing is going to happen in the Venom movie, which is largely inspired by Venom: Lethal Protector and “Planet of the Symbiotes” from The Amazing Spider-Man.

Fans have seen quite a bit of footage from the Venom set, although the Symbiote has been largely MIA since the costume likely involves a lot of post-production work. However, this will probably be the last bit of set footage to come from Venom, as Hardy seemingly announced that they’ve wrapped shooting in an Instagram he posted on Saturday.

Anthem’s full release is nearly upon us. BioWare’s new sci-fi adventure set in a far-flung future will be released this Friday, and once players get past the beginning section of gameplay, they’ll have to select what class of high-tech armor they’re going to wear when they venture out into the wild.

Helmets are a big deal in Star Wars. They surround the heads of popular characters, penetrate our psyches, and bind the merchandising galaxy of Lucasfilm together. In some ways, the entire popularity of Star Wars is connected to sweet-looking helmets. Which is why the rumored return of Kylo Ren’s old helmet in Star Wars: Episode IX is such a big deal. In The Force Awakens, Kylo rocked a Darth Vader knock-off helmet, but after getting teased about it by Snoke in The Last Jedi, he broke the thing into little pieces. Now, in leaked photos, it looks like Kylo’s helmet is back for Episode IX, but what if there’s a twist here? What if the helmet is back, but Kylo Ren isn’t wearing it?

A new group of superheroes just arrived on Netflix in The Umbrella Academy, and maybe you decided to use the holiday weekend to binge all 10 episodes of Season 1. If you did, you’re probably wondering when you’ll get to see Umbrella Academy Season 2 and the resolution to that insane cliffhanger.

Netflix introduced your next superhero obsession with one of its latest original series, The Umbrella Academy, but there’s a major mystery surrounding one of its main characters. What happened to Ben/The Horror? Not even the original comics hold the answer, but Umbrella Academy Season 2 might.
